COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA

Present: Chief Judge Moon, Senior Judges Cole and Duff

AMERICAN SAFETY RAZOR COMPANY
AND
EMPLOYERS INSURANCE COMPANY OF WAUSAU

v. Record No. 2430-95-3 MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
SHERYL NESTER GREEN MARCH 19, 1996

FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS '
COMPENSATION COMMISSION

(Cathleen P. Welsh; Wharton, Aldhizer &

Weaver, on brief), for appellants.
(A. Thomas Lane, Jr., on brief), for
appellee.

American Safety Razor Company and its insurer contend that
the Workers' Compensation Commission erred in finding that Sheryl
N. Green's bilateral de Quervain's tendinitis and bilateral
epicondylitis qualify as compensable occupational diseases within
the meaning of "disease" under the Workers' Compensation Act
("the Act").

This appeal is controlled by the Supreme Court's decision in

Stenrich Group v. Jemmott, Va. , 1 S.E.2d ;

(1996) (holding that "job-related impairments resulting from
cumulative trauma caused by repetitive motion, however labeled or
however defined, are, aS a matter of law, not compensable under
the present provisions of the Act").

Accordingly, we reverse the commission's decision.

"Pursuant to Code § 17-116.010 this opinion is not
designated for publication.

Reversed.
